 * Hello,
 * We’re having an issue with several areas of our site auto-archiving when the 
   plugin is activated. Why would this happen, and how can I stop it?
 * For example, all of our blog posts, podcasts, and certain pages archived themselves
   at different times. And when I republish them, they eventually go back to being
   archived.
 * Thanks,
 * BT
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-with-posts-archiving-themselves%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Th only way this can happen i if each post/page/ or cpt has an archive date set,
   as long as an archive date is set plugin will try to auto archive each post.

 * I am resolving this for good order as I don´t think there was an issue. I will
   still monitor the thread though

 * Unfortunately, no, it wasn’t resolved. The posts do not have archive dates, yet
   they kept being auto-archived. The problem was with the plugin, so I was forced
   to stop using it.

 * The code is quite clear, in order for them to be archived they MUST have archive
   dates. The reason is likely then.
 * 1. You have a javascript error which is causing those dates not to show in the
   back end
    2. The query that looks for that date is being interfered with. 3. 
   Another process is running that is archiving those posts
 * Please disable your other plugins and or move to a default theme. as one of them
   is the culprit
